Definitions

  • an area of an intermetallic-compound compositional domain i.e., an area of parts in which an alloy is produced and that are shown in FIG. 5B (white parts in the figure) was calculated, and was divided by a welded area of the welded part selected from FIG. 4C to thereby calculate an area ratio (proportion) of intermetallic compounds. It can be deduced that this proportion serves as a mean proportion of intermetallic compounds in the welded part 3.
  • compositional domains with an aluminum proportion of 0% to 25% (Cu-alloy domain), a compositional domain with an aluminum proportion of 26% to 75% (intermetallic-compound domain), and a compositional domain with an aluminum proportion of 76% to 100% (Al-alloy domain) are adopted as settings of compositional domains, the settings are not limited to thereto as long as the intermetallic-compound domain includes Cu 9 Al 4 , CuAl and CuAl 2 .
  • a welding process was carried out in the same manner as EXAMPLE 1 except that the laser output and the laser-moving rate were changed.
  • the laser-moving rate was 500 mm/s in this example, the same effects would be obtained even when any other laser-moving rates are adopted.
  • a welded metal component having high tension strength can be realized.
  • the disclosure particularly focuses on tension strength in the detachment direction, stress can be dispersed against tension from all directions, and therefore, high joint strength can stably be realized, when the welded part is provided in form of a ring.
